Overview

See Tokyo from a great height on a sightseeing tour that includes a visit to the Tembo Deck of the Tokyo SKYTREE. Explore the Asakusa district, including the Senso-ji Temple, and the Imperial Palace Plaza and National Diet Building.

What to Expect

Drive by Tokyo's most renowned sites, before sightseeing Asakusa on a 6-hour evening tour that ends with a panoramic view of the city from its newest landmark, Tokyo SKYTREE.

A friendly driver will pick you up from your hotel (selected hotels only) and take you to the Hamamatsucho Bus Terminal, where the excursion departs. Drive past all of Tokyo’s major attractions, such as the Imperial Palace, located on the former site of Edo Castle, and the National Diet Building, constructed in the 1930s and home to the Japanese parliament.

See the State Guest House (Akasaka Palace), a designated National Treasure of Japan. Tour the upscale Ginza district and marvel at the gaudy signs of Akihabara, crammed with shops selling electronics, computers, and anime, manga, and otaku comics and video games.

Continue to the Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, one of Tokyo’s favorite entertainment districts. Founded in 628 AD, the Buddhist Senso-ji Temple is Tokyo’s oldest temple and the focus of the city’s largest Shinto festival. You will also get time to browse the shop-lined promenade of Nakamise-dori, before heading to the Tokyo SKYTREE.

Opened in May 2012, the Tokyo SKYTREE is Tokyo’s newest attractions, and the world’s second tallest building after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Ascend Tokyo SKYTREE to the Tembo Deck, located at a height of 1,150 feet (350 meters) above ground. Covered in glass, the observation deck allows for a 360-degree panoramic view, from the foot of the SKYTREE up to 40 miles (70 kilometers) into the distance.
